What Kind of Liquor Hits You the Hardest?

Some people swear that gin will make them drunk faster than vodka, or shots of tequila get them trashed faster than anything else – even though most well drinks have roughly the same alcohol content.

My theory: Chemicals from the oak barrels that are used to age tequila, rum, and whiskey might cause some people to feel light-headed after only a few sips. Perhaps, they are related to the molecules which cause wine headaches. Tannins, amines, and sulfites have been implicated as the source of those awful side-effects, but chemists are not sure which one is responsible.
